Previously skipper MS Dhoni also arrived at their hub. The Indian contingent of Chennai Super Kings is expected to reach UAE by August 13 and start preparing for IPL 2021. As per reports, all cricketers, who are slated to leave India have tested negative for COVID-19 and will enter the bubble.
Fans were evidently happy as they will finally get to see Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni play together once again.
